Casual Photographer | Software Testing Professional

About Me

I'm a software quality engineer who dabbles in keep-it-simple photography in my time outside of work. I reside in southwest Wisconsin, in the area known as the Driftless. I enjoy time spent outdoors, whether it's my work-from-home lunch walk or a weekend outing to one of the state's beautiful parks. When I can find the time for it, I also like reading poetry, especially modern styles where the language reflects the life of a person. I hope this page, in some small part, reflects my life; the methodical, challenging, creative and technical world of a tester with moments of appreciation for the color, beauty, and living art around us.

Software Testing Demos

These demos test this portfolio website itself - bringing together my professional work in quality assurance with my personal creative pursuits.

📋 Note: These interactive tests are simplified demonstrations built for portfolio purposes. In professional software testing, I would use tools like Selenium, Playwright, JMeter, K6, Postman, Swagger, and dedicated accessibility scanners (axe DevTools, WAVE) to conduct thorough testing across multiple environments, devices, and scenarios. The demos below illustrate testing concepts but represent a fraction of real-world QA processes.

Live Accessibility Testing (WCAG 2.1)

Real-time accessibility audit scanning this portfolio site for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance issues. Checks for missing alt text, color contrast, heading structure, keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, and more.
